G'day, all. My name is Kenneth Tam, and this is my first post to pirates (second post to Lugnet -- sorry, my first duty is to space... *sigh*). Anyhow, as I mentioned above my main loyalty falls into the space realm, but of late I've been aching to (...) (23 years ago, 7-Sep-01, to lugnet.pirates)

Diabolical! Sorry about that, I've just started working with this new page builder, and it seems to be showing me things that aren't there! Argh! I think it should be alright now... (Swallows and slowly backs away) Thanks for the heads up! Kenneth (...) (23 years ago, 8-Sep-01, to lugnet.pirates)

Nice ship. I like the 2x2 square masts - gives a whole new meaning to square rigged :-) But this isn't a broadside: (URL) is a broadside: (URL) back & waits for arms race :-) On Sat, 8 Sep 2001, Kenneth Tam (<GJCGuG.B5F@lugnet.com>) wrote at (...) (23 years ago, 9-Sep-01, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) Oooh, can't keep you waiting, that just wouldn't be right. *THIS* is a broadside. If anyone cares to exchange fire, we'll be about 6km over there ------> (URL) [1] ;-D BTW, I still can't get over how good those gunports look (looked?), Tony. (...) (23 years ago, 9-Sep-01, to lugnet.pirates)

*Ahem* Spice Girls? *Ahem* I'm afraid my waterline design precluded interiors for the crew belowdecks, only the officers' cabins, mess, and the small arms cash. Aside from taking down all the actually rigging (shudder... the stays etc) I can open (...) (23 years ago, 9-Sep-01, to lugnet.pirates)

Gentlemen, gentlemen. Hardly sporting! Apples, oranges, and... giant, armoured, heavily armed... grapes... we're comparing here. Flame's built to historical scale... mainly due to my lack of cannon... *grumbles*. Wait till I figure out how to build (...) (23 years ago, 9-Sep-01, to lugnet.pirates)

36-pounder Carronades, the did. If they tried to put a real long-barreled 36 on a sloop the poor thing'd sink like a stone! And after our lad Nigel gets his spirit ration cut, the Captain looks off to starboard agape. "Oh dear, that's a fly in the (...) (23 years ago, 9-Sep-01, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) Kenneth, Wow, from what I can see this looks like a great ship, with very good detailing. I hope you arrange for better pics before it gets reused for a star cruiser. Thanks, George (23 years ago, 10-Sep-01, to lugnet.pirates)
